It comes from the truth. I don't have an axe to grind about officials. I just think it is funny to NOT listen to the best officials in the world but listen to officials that aren't mechanically sound. Personally, I would listen to just about anyone and throw away that which doesn't apply to me. There is far too many arguments on this board because of someone's personal opinion. I will constantly get jumped on but I will continue to say some people on here carry influence based on things other than personal contact. I think that is very shallow or should I say those influenced are gullable. Chest thumping with a keyboard is nothing to me; if I'm involved in a game as the R, U1 or U2, I have one objective: do the best job possible. Any information I can use to get there is obviously a no-brainer. So the choice is use some information, new or re-branded, from someone who makes a living at this or listen to someone who jumps around like a court jester on Saturdays because a coach feels comfortable with him. Is that a hard decision to make? I would like to think I'm a little smarter than that. It is that same old thing. We are probably smarter than the previous generation and the next generation will be smarter than us. Why not just act accordingly and don't BS the younger officials.
